·So everyone knows the Submariner is an icon and possibly the greatest "do everything" watch ever created. I hold a soft spot in my heart for it and am 90% committed to purchasing one soon, but before actually committing and/or giving in, would anyone know of any alternatives? What I'd like to see is:
-Available on a bracelet
-At least 100m water resistance with screw down crown (would like to use this while sailing, waterskiing, swimming, all water-based activities)
-Modern size (at least 38mm - anything smaller, even with minimal bezels, looks wrong on my wrist)
-Fantastic history and pedigree (movement and case mostly - I'm not that concerned about the "Brand" since there are plenty of not well known brands that used great movements and had great designs)
-Cost of entry equivalent or below that of the Submariner
The only ones I can think of off the top of my head are the Omega SM300, the various Supercompressor models, and Seiko 6105 models.
If anyone could throw out a few suggestions I'd greatly appreciate it.
